It was time to make a decision. Go to Montreal or do more exploring of Glengarry. I was very tired and I really wanted to see as much of Glengarry as I could. I had not been to the northeast part – Lochiel.

So where was I going to stay this one night? Well as I was driving back to Cornwall on Hwy #2 I came up to a motel right on the St. Lawrence River.

The Monte Carlo Motel

It was the Monte Carlo Motel. It is right there on Bryden Ave and Hwy#2. I pulled in and the proprietor saw me and I was in luck. She had a room for one night. It is not a fancy motel but it is clean, tidy and the owner is very nice. Most importantly it is right on the St. Lawrence.

I unloaded my belongings and prepared to head out to Cornwall for this was the day that I was going to the Cornwall Room. I posted about that before.

So now I could tour more of Glengarry and head back to Ottawa in a more leisurely manner than I had planned.

Later on in the day I made my way past the Monte Carlo Motel along Hwy#2 to the Blue Anchor Lounge. I had spotted it before and was curious. It was a beautiful sunny day and the St. Lawrence was calling and so was my tummy.

I pulled into the parking lot on the side and saw the wonderful deck out back. Perfect, absolutely perfect for sitting and having dinner, a glass of wine and enjoying the St. Lawrence.

I positioned myself under the eave of the deck and this is what I saw:

Along came a big ship and it made good time.

A boat is coming!

Closer yet…

Closer yet and moving fast

A happy end to a busy day.

Things to Ponder!

The OGS (Ontario Genealogical Society) Online Newsletter for October 15, 2016 has a great article on the Toronto Library where their collection has been moved to. How to access it and the documents. OGS was given a tour of the new facilities. I was at the North York on my trip to Canada and that is now closed with the collection moved to the main library. They don't discuss parking but that could be an issue.

It is with sadness I report that the Chanute Air Museum is closing for good. I am so glad I visited this museum on the base where my Dad, Keith, spent his time learning his craft of airplane mechanic. August 12, 2016
